any advice on external gate ? i'm trying to decide between the turbosmart 40mm comp gate and 45mm hypergate....

hypergears own 50mm one is good and cheaper than the others.

Cool! well i've ordered the turbo, Stao doesn't have any wastegates at the moment. So i was thinking what size would be best and it made me wonder how to size it properly.. i spoke to a mate of mine said the larger the turbine housing the smaller the gate required and the smaller the housing the larger the gate required. does this sound right.. sort of does to me. there's a $150 difference between a 40mm and 45mm turbosmart gate..

Big turbo big boost = small gate

Big turbo small boost = big gate

Small turbo big boost = small gate

Small turbo small boost = medium gate

That's how I have seen a few people here size gates. *waits for Scotty*

I run 45mm usually, you can't run too much gate imo, it only helps with top end power after all, but 40 will be fine.

I can get the Turbosmart 45mm cheaper than the 40 at the moment. PM me for price. ;)

That's an immaculate fit Johnny. Good to see more SS2 turbos feeding air to these motors! Did you get the hot side of your turbo modified to suit the external or did that come from Hypergear as an option? I'm thinking about running an external but I'd like to maintain the standard dump pattern.

Thanks man!

I actually got the rear housing sent to scotty_nm35 to modify. I opted for the v band rear because I absolutely hate the nissan 6 bolt flange, always snap bolts lol

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
